We’ve been providing fostering services in Bedfordshire for many years, during which we’ve built strong and long-term relationships with the local authorities who need our support. We’ve also established an experienced and stable team that’s fully committed to positive futures for children. Together, we offer an enduring sense of continuity to foster parents and to children and young people, helping them step forward with confidence – so if you're interested in fostering in Bedfordshire, why not join our team today?

The fostering process
Step 1 - Enquire

Step 2 - Home visit
If you're happy to proceed, we'll arrange to visit you to share more information and answer any of your questions.
Step 3 - Application & Assessment
Once you’re ready to apply, you'll complete an application and we'll carry out our checks and complete our Form F assessment. The whole process generally takes between 4-6 months.

Once your assessment is complete, you'll attend a panel meeting. We'll discuss your application and you’ll then be officially approved as a foster carer.
